Oscar nominee Jeff Goldblum will take over as sharp-tongued novelist Leonard in Broadway’s Seminar beginning April 3. Also joining the hit main stem comedy is fellow movie star Justin Long as Martin and TV and stage actress Zoe Lister-Jones as Kate. Original stars Jerry O’Connell and Hettienne Park will continue with the production for an additional eight weeks. Directed by Sam Gold, Seminar is currently running at the Golden Theatre.
